Development

In 2013, Phil Spencer from Microsoft's Xbox team mentioned his fondness for Battletoads while asking the fans what Rare games should be brought back for the Xbox One.[1] On November 10, 2014, "Battletoads" was re-trademarked in the United States.[2] Spencer appeared publicly in a Battletoads T-shirt in January 2015,[3] just days after Microsoft Studios' Ken Lobb (creator of the Killer Instinct 2013 reboot) said they have plans to bring Battletoads and the other classic Rare series back "someday".[4] The new Battletoads game was formally announced by Microsoft at E3 2018.[5]

A gameplay trailer was shown at E3 2019 and the game was confirmed to be released in 2019.
